The Chosun e-newsletter Archive Volume 11 #12 December 2020

 Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast, 


As 2020 comes to a close, it is safe to say that it is a year no one will forget. But a global pandemic does not adhere to a calendar and although hope is on the horizon, we have a distance to go. Our CHOSUN community remains strong due in no small part to the underlying tenets of taekwondo that infuse our martial arts practice with rectitude.  
COURTESY   INTEGRITY   PERSERVANCE   SELF-CONTROL   INDOMITABLE SPIRIT 

Writing about lessons learned from the pandemic, Pope Francis commented,
"To come out of this crisis better, we have to recover the knowledge that as a people we have a shared destination. The pandemic has reminded us that no one is saved alone. What ties us to one another is what we commonly call solidarity."

We owe a debt of gratitude to all health care and essential workers. The burden of this crisis and the sacrifice they have endured will never be forgotten!

The Chosun e-newsletter Archive Volume 11 #9 September, 2020

 Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast, 


Chosun 2020 Fall/Winter Schedule was included with your September invoice and will take effect September 1, 2020
Please advise if you have not received it.


Chosun re-opened in early July for in-person and continued online classes. Classes have been well attended and students are excited to be back in the dojang and training with fellow martial artists. For those who prefer to attend online classes or live to far from the school, the virtual classes offer a valuable alternative. 
We are extremely grateful for all the support our students, instructors and families have shown during this uncertain time!

Please read the details below regarding the Fall/Winter schedule which includes options for all levels of involvement
Also learn about the protocols and procedures that have been put into practice to keep our students safe!
